Came across this article from Outdoorlife, Apparently, Black Bears are super smart! https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/black-bears-are-intelligent/

An article years back put their memory at getting food above chimps, and such.

Not really a stretch for a bear.

One thing I have experience with them is they are extremely inquisitive which can be royal PITA with a back country camp.

The first day a bear runs for office he gets my vote. I'm sure they believe in the right to "bear arms"

Problem with most stupid people is they think they are super smart. Sometimes even bragging of genius level thinking!
When I was a teenager a couple years back an old timer taught me how to trap. Ran a line for a couple years and it blew me away how smart coyotes are. Not much experience with bears but it doesn't surprise me.
Have a great day brothers and sisters!

I don't think black bears would contract security out to the Taliban. Just saying.

Black Bears (all of em really) = nature's true problem solvers.

I have never met any predator that was stupid. Just some prey and people.

I had this old book on a grizzly hunter/trapper.Shot quite a few near Spokane. Had one he tried to get many times,the set up had a 1/4 of old horse for bait,logs for a funnel affect and a shotgun on trip wire.The bear smelt the areas he'd been got the bait,avoided multiple traps..
